लक्ष्मण-प्राणरक्षा: (Lakshmana’s Revival by the Herb-Mountain)
सुप्रभंसुप्रसन्नं च मुखमस्यनिरीक्ष्यताम् ।।।।पद्मपत्रतलौहस्तौसुप्रसन्ने च लोचने ।
suprabhaṃ suprasannaṃ ca mukham asya nirīkṣyatām |
padmapatratalau hastau suprasanne ca locane ||
“Look—his face is radiant and serene; his palms are like the surface of lotus-leaves, and his eyes too are calm and clear.”
'His face is radiant and pleasing to see. His palms are like red lotuses and his eyes are so pleasant'.
Dharma is guided by pramāṇa (reliable signs/evidence): one should not surrender to fear when observable indicators support hope and duty.
Suṣeṇa points to Lakṣmaṇa’s undisturbed, radiant features as evidence that life remains.
Rational calmness and compassionate reassurance—supporting righteous leadership by preventing panic.
